Free eBooks at Wowio.com

I'm really liking this website. They have a wide variety of books in all genre's. You won't find Steven King or Dean Koontz here; but you will find some interesting reads.

They download as pdf's. The site adds a page to the book with their website and a sponsor (sometimes Verizon). Other than that, the books are well formatted and convert easily using the Adobe Reader for Palm OS so I can read them on my Palm PDA.

The site requires an email address from a registered domain; you won't be able to use hotmail or yahoo mail. Once your account is created you can set up a download queue of all the books you ultimately want to download. There is a download limit of 3 books per day.

One shortfall of the queue they use...when a book is in your download queue and you come across that book while browsing the site, it will say, "In Queue" and gray out the "Add To Download Queue" button. Fine. Once you download the book, it leaves your queue; should you come across that book again, it won't tell you that you had already downloaded it. It will let you put it in your queue again to re-download. Other than that...can't really complain for the price.
